>>20592171...says, the main audience for these games will be older players who already experienced the Hoenn region, and you can bet GF will be banking on the nostalgia factor like they did with XY to bring in gen 1 fans. The 'much, much more new stuff' bit is what piques my curiosity. Aside from a revamped Battle Frontier, megas and features that have been touched up, only legends and one or two new areas remain that we can expect to be included. Event islands would really live up to this statement.
Event islands would really help prolong the game and besides a Jirachi event, there remains to be many events that we can anticipate for ORAS. I'd like to also again reference HGSS as it recieved:
Mew
Celebi
Lati@S
Jirachi
Manaphy
Shiny beasts
and more. Whilst XY were the first games in the generation and so had few events:
Diancie
Mega Blaziken
Vivillon
Celebi
...ORAS is going to be different. Now I'd only expect to see Mew, Jirachi and Deoxys and maybe one more event legendary to be on the safe side but we could end up seeing a bunch of random stuff. In the next post, I'll finish of by talking about how they could go about Faraway Island and Birth island, as well as a possible alternative.
